Oh!
And Happy Birthday, Vortex!
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Coding and Sleeping
I've done oil changes, belt replacement, starter, power steering pump, battery, brake pads (disc only, not drums), blower motor, spark plugs, ignition coils, oxygen sensor, rear shocks, and installed a couple tow hitches. Shade tree mechanic sort of stuff.

Productive! Be nice to yourself today!
EM is here. Matilda has been dragged groggily out of bed. Emmett is on the way. I have to run around and do shit all day.
So many tiny tasks!

Our wings are not tired.
Going to have to take it to a dealer before too long though to change the CVT fluid.
You should have them do some of the other items and take them off your list!
The most complex car repair I've done was replace a radiator with my sister. Mechanically it wasn't hard, but that thing was heavy!! Changed a headlamp in my jetta which was a super pain involving removing way too many things to get to it. Annoying. I no longer do anything else other than add wiper fluid. (love my Tesla and its lack of engine)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy birthday Vortex!

I think Gud was saying he has done all that -- not all in one day (though, if anyone could, it would be Gud). I have not done any of that.
Today's productivity has been writing an email for the NP I work part-time for about our upcoming Mem Day 5k walk and doing laundry. Not bad.
Yesterday felt like Friday. Today feels like no day.
